I guess past championships can't be vacated even if we know they were doing it then. But they should at least be banned from the postseason this year and Belichick barred from the league for a season or indefinitely.

Honestly, an indefinite suspension for Bill doesn't sound that unlikely to me the more I think about it. He's a repeat offender, and the NFL's going to have to come down hard on him and the Pats if they want to pretend that they care about the integrity of the league. Like that text thread said, they're either the only ones cheating, or out of the entire league, the only ones stupid enough to get caught... and considering the state of most of the other teams, I'd have to go with the former.

TheBizzness: Oct 5, 2004; Reign on me.

My favorite thing about the new scandal is that there was always at least a little bit of plausible deniability until you read the original spy gate documents which show line for line that this is how it was done including the denial excuse.

The Patriots aren't the only team to get caught taping illegally. Both the Broncos and the Jets were too. Of course, they were both being run by former Patriot guys when they were caught, lol.

Hizawk: Jun 18, 2004; High on the Lions.

Quick Napkin math but...

Former Bill Belichick assistant coaches have a 41% win rate against all teams in the NFL.

Against Bill Belichick, widely considered the best [cheating] coach in the NFL & the leagues most successful [cheating] team, they have a 40% win rate.

BB [as coach of the Patriots] only loses roughly 26% of the time.

The statistics don't lie. BB cheats and the former assistants know how to limit it.

Impossibly Perfect Sphere: Nov 6, 2002; They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

It's gonna be pretty awkward when they suspend Belichick while new top 100 videos with him are still airing.

hell you'll be lucky to even get the fine since they admitted and apologized. easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

Just going to remind everyone that the Patriots are the second most profitable team in the league for anyone who thinks that the NFL is going to impose any sort of punishment on the team besides fines.

It will be cool in 30 years when they make a 30 for 30 with all kinds of proof that the Patriots cheated their way into a dynasty and everyone who watches will think "lol people in the 00s except Ehud were dumb as gently caress"

is it also going to cover the upcoming period where ryan tannehill leads the titans to 7 consecutive super bowl wins, and saves the american economy due to the boom in shirt-printing jobs

yeah there is absolutely zero chance they don't let the pats into the playoffs or suspend belichik or anything like that. fines at best and that's, as i said, if the nfl even acknowledges it.

GOOD TIMES ON METH: Mar 17, 2006; Fun Shoe

quote:

Imagine being a Bengals staff member sitting down to watch the game in the second row of the press box, when somebody sits down in front of you during the first quarter, pulls out a video camera and starts recording.

You watch and see the viewfinder locked on the Cincinnati sideline and realize the videographer is connected to the New England Patriots, wearing Boston Bruins gear.

This is what happened on Sunday in Cleveland. Unbelievably, considering the history of such offenses.

What happened next included Bengals executives getting involved, then NFL security and eventually the video being confiscated and turned over to the league, which is currently reviewing the matter. And depending on who you talk to, there are differing accounts of what happened that could be significant in determining intent.

According to sources who have viewed the tape, it shows about eight minutes of footage focusing on recording the Bengals� sideline. It�s a direct view of the sideline as players run on and off the field and coaches make signals for plays.

This isn�t an over-the-shoulder of the advanced scout who is doing his job stuff. This is shooting the sideline. For an extended period of time. The egregious nature of the video is why it set off the firestorm it did during the game with the Bengals executives in the press box.

all the weird stuff that always happens with opposing teams' wireless equipment isn't just poo poo that randomly happens all the time with wireless Tx/Rx IEM-style setups, in fact most high-end equipment like that is specifically designed against the issues teams have with it in Gillette
